Bulls Fall At First Hurdle

Hereford lost this afternoon's FA Trophy Preliminary Round tie at Salisbury 4-3, meaning they suffered their first back-to-back defeats since last August.

Tommy Wright opened the scoring for the hosts with 3 minutes on the clock, but a goal from Mike Symons and a John Mills penalty meant the Bulls were 2-1 up going into the break.

Two goals from Eddie Perrett and one for Justin Bennett in the second period meant Hereford were facing their second 4-2 defeat in a week, but a late penalty from John Mills reduced the deficit.

Full time: Salisbury 4 - Hereford 3

More later.
